Ky also offers EMDR for those whose histories include trauma, provided that format fits the client’s goals. Ky’s background includes work with forensic, adult, youth, and crisis settings, which informs how they respond in high-stress moments. They are a current PsyD doctoral candidate and hold LMHC licensure in Hawaii and Washington, which shapes their clinical perspective.

People who want practical strategies for anxiety or help making sense of difficult experiences may find this approach helpful.
How Ky’s approaches translate to online care
Ky often combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques and EMDR. Client-centered therapy means conversations focus on what matters to the client, with the therapist following the person’s lead and offering support. Cognitive behavioral therapy teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and improve sleep and mood. EMDR is an approach used to address traumatic memories by guiding attention in ways that can lower distress for some people.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ky will talk with the client about goals, past experiences, and comfort with different methods, then suggest a path forward. The plan can be adjusted over time based on what helps most and what feels manageable.
Online therapy with Ky is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer shorter, flexible touchpoints and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy or changing schedules.
